| - Came here to try their sizzling plates during their grand opening (15% off from July 26-31 when mentioning markhamfoodie, mrs_dimsum, or some other IG foodies). Was not impressed.
Arrived around 12:40pm on a Friday afternoon and this place was packed. Luckily, there was one booth table left. There is barely any room between the seat and the table (not movable). I'm quite petite and I found it very uncomfortable already.
Ordered three sizzling plates: the chicken spicy noodles, salmon and shrimp rice, and black curry pork cutlet rice. Each were $11.99. Waited 45 minutes to 1 hour for the food to come. None of them met my expectations.
Chicken spicy noodles:
I already stated that I wanted less spicy and wrote it on the paper used for ordering. It was even stated on my receipt. I'm not sure how spicy it is regularly, but with less spicy it was still super duper spicy. Also, there is supposed to be cheese in this dish, but I could barely taste it. This noodles is more like spicy instant noodles without soup with a few bits of chicken. My throat is still hurting from this dish.
Salmon and shrimp rice:
This is the perfect representation of "picture vs. reality food". The picture in the menu looked like there are four big slices of salmon and four big shrimps (in Chinese it even translates into salmon and BIG shrimp rice). When it came, it was more like four teeny tiny pieces of salmon and four baby shrimps (see my picture). The salmon and shrimps were both extremely dry and salty even when eaten with the rice. In the middle of the rice there was a piece of butter which I wasn't aware of, so I almost puked when I ate it.
Black curry pork cutlet rice:
Meh. The curry was a very thick sauce. Not spicy at all (I like curry with a hint of spiciness). The pork cutlet was very thin pieces of pork that were breaded heavily. They were also soggy as they were drenched in the sauce. There was also a piece of butter in the rice and this time I knew better. This dish was the only one I could actually eat.
Wanted to order some durian desserts after, but we didn't want to wait another hour for them.
Service:
The waitress was very weird. She would say everything in Cantonese first, then after we responded, she would repeat what she said in English as if we didn't understand. Sometimes she would be speaking Mandarin to us. Also, when she asked if we wanted more water, without waiting for us to respond, she already poured it into the cup.
When I asked for the bill, I showed the waitress the Instagram post and told her about the 15% off and she kinda nodded. However, there was no discount on the receipt we received after. I called over the waiter and he looked at the Instagram post as if he never saw it before. Then he went back to reprint the receipt. This time, there was only 10% discount when the post clearly said 15%. I didn't have much patience left so I just paid and left.
Definitely will not be coming back as the food is not very good and also for that price, I can easily find much better tasting food. Also, I get that it is busy around lunch time, but why does it take an hour to make these dishes? The wait itself already left me with a terrible impression. With the food and service on top, I would only give 1 star.
